Since we homeschool we already know each other. I thought today we'd start by discussing the parts of a story. A story has five basic but important elements. These five components are: the characters, the setting, the plot, the conflict, and the resolution. These essential elements keep the story running smoothly and allow the action to develop in a logical way that the reader can follow.
If I hand you a lunch bag and ask, What's for lunch? You have to pull out a paper. On the paper will be a food. You'll have to tell us, "Today for lunch I'm having ..."
If you pull out a card with a picture of a pie or the word pie written, it's PIE!
Then you start your story about why your brought that for lunch.
EXAMPLE:
This is my Grandmother's broccoli and chocolate chip pie. It's a family secret recipe. Grandmother was always a lover of baking pies. She used to enter her pies into the fair every fall. Can you believe she never won first place, or second, nope not third either. Grandmother wasn't much on eating pie either. The Judges facial reactions were what drove my Grandmother's creativity!
